Why Elephants Have a Massive Cancer Problem

Elephants are enormous animals made of trillions of cells. By all the rules of biology, they should get cancer far more often than humans. But they don’t. In this episode of Living World Unseen, we explore the strange biology that allows elephants to resist a disease that affects millions of humans. Hidden in their DNA are powerful genetic defenses that destroy damaged cells before they can turn into tumors. It’s one of the strangest discoveries in modern biology — and it may reveal clues about how cancer works in our own bodies. Sometimes evolution doesn’t just adapt. Sometimes it solves a problem in a way that almost seems impossible.
